28

Who would thought that six months already passed. And now, I am doing all of the affairs of Duke Theron at his Villa and at his other businesses.

While the Duke is away for two months, everything that I need to learn, I did all of them perfectly, and all I gotta do now is to wait for him to go home, and announce our engagement.

"You're spacing out, again." I looked at Lord Azriel, who's sitting in front of me and having a tea with me.

He's here for six months, never failed to pay a visit and annoy me all the time.

His reason? Because of his research for my ability or curse.

I have lessons for the past months, ky education, sword practice and the last is how to use magic.

For the past months, I learn how to control my mana, and to refill them. How to expand my mana and the basic magics, Lord Azriel also taught me that I don't have any divine magic, maybe that's the reason why his father said that I am cursed.

"Sorry, I was thinking about Duke Theron, it's been two months, and he's supposed to go home last week. He's late." I said before putting down the tea cup.

Azriel also put down his tea cup and look at me. "Don't worry, he's alright. The emperor just ask for his presence at the capital last month, he's busy at the affairs of your irresponsible brother." I can't help but to roll my eyes and take a deep sigh.

My brother is really irresponsible, the establishment that he asked to be build at the main land of Duke Theron is for prostitution.

A place where all women there are for sale, and only exclusive for the noble man or for rich people around the empire.

He's reallt sick, while my sister is busy to chase the Duke Theron at the capital. Trying her best to seduce the duke of Windsor.

"All of them are lacking, while the Duke is using the time to help me improve." I took a deep breath again and look at the servants who is taking care of the garden.

After that day that I encountered Lord Azriel, he came here regularly, when he has time, just to see me and entertain me.

But he didn't entertain me, he also helped me with my magic and with my curse. So I just added some time for my learnings at magic.

"For the mean time, haven't you tried the medicine books that I gave to you, because I find out that you have some talent at making medicines, and you also told that you healed bruises and deep cuts. Sir William and Emperor Kier?" I nod and look at the book.

I read each of them, but I didn't tell him yet that I am making some medicines, not just for bruise and cuts, but also for other illnesses that I might encounter, but I don't know where to test them.

"I read all of them when I have free time, but I am kind of busy at the affairs that Duke Theron didn't manage to do, so I have to finish them on time," I explained and he nod.

"But you still remember to do what my lesson is before you sleep?" He asked and I nod.

"I actually have some bandits at my place, you want to try your new learnings?" My eyes glowed when Azriel said that, and I nod instantly.

Why I am excited to try how this mana works now?

I stand up joyfully and Azriel just chuckled and shook his head.

"Alright, let's try your new learnings today. But please, don't try to do the last time that you control the bandit, it's kind of terrifying, killing your own self." I nod and raised my right hand.

"I promise to not kill all of them, just manipulate them." I nod after saying that, but Azriel pat my head and smile.

"Such a cutie." Lord Azriel still patting my head and I tap his hand and roll my eyes.

"Stop, my lady in waiting has a hard time to fix my hair lately, maybe because I'm stressed and has no time to have a spa day." I walk out of the room and he's walking beside me.

"You're still pretty no matter what, and at least you can walk at this Villa without any worry." I nod and all of the servants bowed their heads.

"Your highness, is there any food that you want for this dinner?" The butler asked me when I am on my way to the carriage.

"Some vegetables and steak is good for me, and something cold." I smiled and he bowed his head.

"We will do our best to satisfy it, your highness." I went to the carriage and Azriel still looking at me.

Like a mocking look.

"What?" I said in irritated tune, and he laugh even more.

"Why, I didn't do anything to you. I just look at how you talked to the servants." He cross his legs and lean on.

"Are you mocking me, at how I act now?" I said and look at the trees.

"Nope, I am just surprised that you're getting better, and your attitude is also changing, so keep it up. You're better to exceed, surpass them." I nod and now, I just feel the pressure.

How I can surpass the emperor who is much wiser than me?

Like his experience is the best thing that he can offer to his empire, who am I.

I am just the daughter of dancer, a mere commoner, how I can win the nobles?

But I have the Duke Theron, and I know that he will use his influence to the nobility, they will think that maybe because the Duke Theron marrying me because I am way better that the royal family.

I have to trust myself now, I should start building my confidence and the lessons that I work hard for almost seven months.

"But how I can win the favor of Drivike people and the nobility without using the Duke's Theron name?" I asked and Azriel smile at me.

"You helped the hero, helped the emeperor of Gribe, what else?" I just nod and think more.

Maybe I need to build my name better, because I don't want to be seen as a wife of the Duke, but as a princess of Drivike, the abandoned one.

"I need to build my name, before we start announcing the engagement, I have to move." He smile and thw carriage stop at the small house.

"My lady." Lord Azriel helped me to walk and he open the door. It's just a small space, but he pull something and the floor opened.

A stairs downstairs, he went inside first and the lights started to light up.

I am looking around, and then a door is at the end of the dungeon look.

He opened it, and the whole room is bright. But there's a people at the cage, they are all awake when they saw the door opened, a total of six people there.

"Kneel." I whispered and they kneel all at once.

"Hey, wait. I didn't even tell you to start." I chuckled and hide my face.

"Sorry, I thought I will start now." I sit down at the chair and Azriel just took a deep breath.

"Fine, I'll open their cages. Just tell them to celan the place and fix what's needed to be fix."

I nod and all of those six people start to work on their own.

"Does your mana is draining?" He asked and I shook my head.

"I am releasing them slowly, and I let the flow on a calm flow." He nod and look at the bandits to obey me as if they are a good person.

"Do you know how to undo your curse?" He asked me and I shook my head slowly.

"I actually don't know how, that's why this is labeled as curse, because I can't undo it." I explained and waved my hand while explaining, and one of the bandit move like me. And I chuckled.

"You're toying them." He open the book, it's the north people journal.

"As you can see, to undo the manipulation, you have to cut something with them, like the connection. But try it later, when they are all done." I nod and look at them, I demand them to act cute, and Azriel can't help but to sighed and shook his head.

"God, it's crazy to become under your ability, I might die, not because you will kill me, but my imagine might get tarnish." I waved my hand while laughing hard.

"Come on, maybe you're fighting the urge, that's why you're not affected by my curse?" I asked and he went closer to my eyes.

Look at my red eyes, and his blue eyes is like ocean in my sight.

How beautiful eyes he has.

"See, nothing happened." He distanced himself to me, and my heart is beating wildly now. Why?

"It's just you didn't look at my eyes for a long time." I mocked him, and rolled my eyes.

I didn't respond to the next move that he did, he snatched my hand, and I lean on the table, he was in front of me, I can feel his breath and he was looking intensely to my eyes.

Why I can't breath properly now, it seems that my breath is being taken away from me.

I heard him, he gulped many times while staring intensely to my eyes.

"See, nothing happened, because maybe I wasn't bound to get affected by your ability." I don't know, but my hand touches his cheeks, and he looked surprised now.

"No, not that kind of manipulation." Azriel's lips on mine.

I keep my eyes open, while he is busy, kissing my lips torridly, like he will literally intend to take my breath away right now.

Azriel is kissing me wild now, like he can't control his hands, squeezing my waist and it makes me close my eyes and moan softly.

This sensation, it's like new to me again. Maybe this is the effect of his ocean eyes.

I command all of the bandits to lock themselves at the cage and lock their own.

They do what I said, and I tried what Azriel said, cutting the cord like that I have with these people and put some barrier so they didn't see what Azriel and I are doing here.

"You're good, you know now how to stop your ability, congratulations." He said before kneeling.

It makes me squeake when the tip of his nose was at my feminity.

I covered my mouth and close my eyes when a warm tongue lick my entrance.

"A-azriel." I moan, like he's taking away my breath, and my moans sounds like I am asking for more.

There's a sensation that is building inside my tummy, like I'm gonna explode anytime, but I am holding it back.

It's addictive, when I am holding it back all.

"Azriel!" I hissed when his finger touched my entrance and slowly entere his finger, I arched my back and close my eyes.

I wanna pee now!

His finger is getting faster, while Azriel is also busy at licking my clit, it makes my legs weak like a jelly.

How we ended up at this scenario, pleasuring each other in the way that I am making myself a sinner.

I am engaged with the Duke, I am commiting a mistake.

I gasped when I feel the peak, after holding it back. Releasing a hot liquid and my legs is weak now.

Looking at the ceiling of this room, catching my breath.

"I want to fuck you," I look at Azriel, and I feel his large bulge at my feminity, gently rubbing it. My femininity is sensitive, it tickles every time he moves his dick at my entrance.

"Are you sure that you're not affected by my ability?" I asked Azriel, and I feel that his head is about to enter my folds, but he stopped and cover my lower part.

"What I have done?"
